Really considering pulling the trigger on a pair of Dalton, I am only a little worried because Im not sure what size to get. Some people said that the 1 last was a little narrower than the 5 last and to order 1 width higher (D to E), some say to stick to the same size. Is there more of a consensus when it comes to this ? Did anyone get the Daltons in the same size as their other 5 last shoes ?

I just got home and my $129 Walnut Strands were waiting for me. True to being on the same last as the Park Ave... They fit like a glove...or my old Copa Mundials! Its hard to believe o picked these up for $129 from the Jville outlet. THANKS AGAIN to the OP who mentioned they were selling them for that price. The only blemish I noticed was a small scuff at the heel!

I got them in the same size BUT since they are boots I also usually wear them with thicker socks.

I know some on this thread get the same size in the 5-last Strands as the 1-last Daltons. I personally sized 1/2 size up for the Daltons (same width). That works pretty well for me. I maybe could have gone up a width in the Strands. This is probably confusing to you considering the other input you have had. I went 7.5D Strands and 8D in the Daltons and maybe I could have gone with 7.5E Strands.

I think I would start with one of two choices for the Daltons if I were you: 1) Go up 1/2 size and stick with D width. 2) Stay the same size and go to an E width.

I have not found that to be the case at all. I wear EE in the 5 last and E in the 1 last.

My AE SO explained that the tighter fit of the Dalton vs 5 last shoes is not because of the last but because of the way a boot must be crafted. Something about changing the slope of the vamp to rise to the boot and that this creates a tighter fit.

I have the dalton and the strand. I have much more room in the dalton. The 1 last is a boot last and I really cannot fathom it being more narrow than the five. If anything the dalton should be looser in the vamp as a blutcher compared to the bal strand. My dalton is much easier on my high instep.

I have been thinking about some sort of shoe storage device...but then I think that I'd just rather put the money towards more shoes!

I got tired of the mess in my closet from my boots all over the place. My first step was to get rid of lot of my clothes that I hardly wore to make room for some shoe racks. I got some cheap plastic/metal racks but they just didn't do the trick. So I got a woodworker to make me a boot rack of heart of cedar or aromatic cedar or whatever it's called. I'm much happier now but I don't think my closet is big enough for another rack...
